Stone and fire are connected in an ageless bond. A sparkle created by clashing two stones with each other has been igniting fire over centuries. At the same time stones are used to safely border campfires. The warmth of the stone and intimate flame, reflect here on our interior environment. The classical shapes of candle holders are brought to light by extracting it from the core of a stone. Set in a 21st-century interpretation, it connects a timeless design type with a primitive appearing but contemporary driven technology. Based in antwerp, studio do is a stone cutting atelier founded by dana seachuga and octave vandeweghe. These two creatives work independently: dana as a jewellery maker and octave as an artist. For studio do they joined forces and share their creative visions and expertise. Driven by their affection for stone cutting, they research the material and cultural role of (gem)stones within the realm of functional objects. Using basic interventions, shapes and aesthetics, they try to search for the minimal action necessary to give a rock a (traditional) function. Studio do works on design projects and takes commissions related to stone, art, design objects and jewellery. Label & labour stand along each other as one, becoming inseparable. See less
